For Governor: Tim Pawlenty was the Chief Author of the Internet Privacy Bill which would make spammers put ADV in the subject (ADV-ADULT for adult mailings) and impose some pretty impressive fines for those that didn't. Bunch of other stuff making it illegal for ISP's to sell your info, etc. I don't know where the other candidates stand on this, just came across Pawlenty's stand earlier today while doing a bit of research. -cjc Links: http://ww3.house.leg.state.mn.us/members/members.asp?district=38B http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/perl/billsum.pl?fname=HF3625&session=82&ses sion_number=0&year=2002 -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of Mike Nielsen Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 11:25 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: [TCLUG] Election Time It's getting about that time for the masses to head to the polls and decide who is going to make policy in this nifty keen nation of ours. I didn't get a chance to head to the State Fair this year and hunt down the canidates to see where they stand on issues that would generally affect the linux/open sourse community as a whole. Such as the DMCA DRM P2P and all those fun digital rights problems out there. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas or even know where the local canidates sit on some of these issues? I personally don't and would like to have some idea before I step into a voting booth. -- ----------------------------- |\/|ike at GetBent.net _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
